Thanks that is good to know. But sheesh, what happened to the first production run? How many did they even make? I figured I would have seen this in a TRU but I never even heard of them hitting a brick and mortar store.

Does BBTS ever give out promo codes for free shipping?

I have never seen free shipping from BBTS - I think they don't do it because they know that people will take advantage of their pile of loot feature.

I don't think these 1/4 scale figures really make it to brick and mortar stores - they take up too much shelf space and I don't think many stores are willing to dedicate that much space to them. TRU stores did carry wave 1 of the 1/4 scale Predators but I think they stopped after that wave and then just started selling them exclusively on their website.

And also, for what it worth, I check TRU.com nearly every day for new NECA items they put up for sale. I did see the 1/4 GD put up for one day and it was in stock and I debated getting it too. The next day it was pulled from their site from what I can tell.

So yeah, one day only - thats pretty fast for it to sell out.

Oh man, I saw it too and had it up ALL DAY on my computer and when I finally went to pull the trigger it was already gone. I was SO mad about that! I could have gotten it with free shipping too! The cheapest one I can find on Amazon is $145, no thanks.

I did notice it said "Item is available in stores" so maybe it will turn up in a TRU Express or something. I'm not giving up hope yet, but I am gonna stalk TRU.com like a mutha for the next few weeks!

Bam! Just scored the 18" Gipsy Danger with free shipping off TRU.com! So glad I bookmarked that page when I had a chance. It was actually listed as In Stock this morning so I did not hesitate to pull the trigger this time around.

Now I just hope it arrives in halfway decent shape...I have had same bad shipping experiences with ordering online from them in the past. (Knock on wood, fingers crossed, etc)

I'm glad I waited this out, have not seen the price drop on Amazon or eBay at all to this point...

there is a coupon today for 15% off if you can cancel and reorder: 15FORYOU

Thanks, according to your link though it is unavilable to add to cart now? That was quick!

At any rate, I appreciate the head's up, but I'm not taking any chances, my order was confirmed via email already and I'm very happy with the $105 price tag. I actually took advantage of a recurring Bill Me Later deal to get 6 months with no interest to pay it off which is only available for orders over $99. That made it a lot more palatable.

I looked around last night for info on other upcoming stuff...sounds like the 7" Wave 3 is expected in February. Not sure about that 18" Knifehead though, I think "second quarter" was the estimate BBTS had on their listing.
